Updates

Its been days since i last blogged and have missed doing so. Thought i'll drop in to give a couple of updates. No training this whole week as yet because of the dreaded rain. I am slightly irritated by it right now. How can it rain for 2 days non-stop in March? That is so wrong. Was sharing with some friends whom i met for dinner last night that i used to be able to ride my bike from March to Novemeber minus the occassional rain. Last year, from July onwards, i didn't ride as much coz the weather was mostly unpredictable. No more sunny days! And that gets me upset! I love sunny days. Don't mind running, swimming, biking and riding my baby in the scorching sun. But the rain... Oh.... Irritating. Although truth be told, if not for the fact that i just recovered from flu, i quite enjoy running when it drizzles. The feeling of the rain lightly tapping on me has a calming effect. And not only that, the air always smells fresher when rain is around the corner.
But with the swimathon coming on Friday, i'm worried that i have not been swimming all week coz of the rain. For the record, i know i am going to get wet eventually when i plunge into the pool and swim, so it doesn't really matter if it's raining or sunny. But it generally feels colder when it rains. And that's why i always make it a point to swim on sunny days. Of course, if the rain persists, i might just FORCE myself to go to the pool later. Guess if this keeps up, there'll be no run this evening as well. Haven't ran for close to 2 weeks. This is unacceptable. Sighz
Met the Samba kids for dinner last night. Actually not really Samba kids. about 7 of us turned up for dinner, Xuan, Jiahui, Suan, Banz, Debs, Dylan and myself. It was a nice catching up session. More so coz Debs just announced that she is pregnant. And i had a great time catching up with little sis Xuan as always =)
Samba girls(3 of us anyway)
Then went off to meet the guys and girl who would be doing the swimathon together this Friday. Settled some logistics stuff and basically just had a discussion on what to bring, wear and food that we need. Keeping my fingers crossed and will be praying hard for it to not be raining tomorrow evening. Already swimming in the night would mean lower temperatures. And cold is something that i'm not very good with. I'll still swim of course, but nothing beats having a nice weather.
So basically, that has been the week as a whole. Moved more stuff back from office over week and set up shop at home. There's a major reshuffling going on in office and have been told that in the not so far future, we would be moving office. Our current room is going to be acquired by another team. And everyone shares tables in the new office coz there's too many people and too little space. So i figured, basically, i go into office just to print stuff and submit cases. Other then that, i don't spend all that much time there. Why not buy a printer, bring the laptop home, and i can effectively work at home. So when i went to the IT fair on Sunday, i bought myself the same printer that i use in office, and now i can safely say i can work from home. Will take a picture of the revamped room later. Once i manage to pack everything up properly.
Well, that's about it for Sunday till today. Will post pics up later.
